"""Mr. October"" is sixth on the all-time home run list with 563 career homers and won the AL MVP in 1973 as a member of the Oakland Athletics. He spent only five seasons with the Yankees, from 1977 to 1981, but in that time was a lightning rod, as he had come to New York on a then-massive five-year, 2.96 million deal. Despite his public feuds with manager Billy Martin and owner George Steinbrenner, Jackson helped the Yankees win the World Series in 1977 and 1978, and was named the World Series MVP in '77. In that series against the Dodgers, Jackson blasted five homers, including three in the clinching Game 6, all on the first pitch. He made the All-Star team all five seasons he was in the Bronx. Jackson retired in 1987 and was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1993."
